Hi Angela,
As for as your markup is good, but still you can enhance accessibility
by you using h3 instead <p> tag for the program locations, i think, both
Paragraph and heading tags are block-level elements and gives same spacing
except font. developers can easily change font style and size through CSS.
It's not a big deal.
